Step 1: Use a sheet of White Solid Cardstock (or a White Refill Page) as the base for this layout.

Step 2: Cut 8” x 2” strips with plaid, cloudy sky, nautical stripes and shells papers. Lay one on the 13×13 Custom Cutting System Mat with the short end on the ruler. Make pencil marks on the top edge at 1/2″ and 1-1/2” and on the bottom edge at 1”. Cut from top to bottom between the marks to create long, thin triangles. Repeat with the rest of the strips to make twelve strips total. Adhere the strips, alternating colors, along the right edge of the layout, as shown.

Step 3: Cut a 4-1/2” x 12” strip with wood paper. Adhere 1/8” from the left edge. Adhere a border sticker along the left edge of the strip.

Step 4: Cut a 3” x 4” piece from a variety mat to use as a journal box and adhere to the middle of the wood strip. Crop two photos to 3” x 4”, layer them with back sides together and slip them into a 3×4 Peekaboo Pocket. Crop five photos to 3” x 3”. Adhere two on the wood strip, as shown. Layer two more with the back sides together and slip them into a 3×3 Peekaboo Pocket. Cut a 3” x 3” piece with cloudy sky paper. Top with a title sticker and crab sticker. Layer with the last 3” x 3” photo, putting the back sides together, and slip them into another 3×3 Peekaboo Pocket. Set Peekaboo Pockets aside for Step 7.

Step 5: Crop a photo to 5” x 3-1/2” and mount on a variety mat cut to 5-1/2” x 4”. Adhere on the layout as shown.

Step 6: Adhere stickers, popping some up with Foam Squares for dimension. Journal in the journal box as desired.

Step 7: After slipping on the Page Protector (or slipping the layout into a Top-Loading Single-Pocket Page), remove the backing from the adhesive strips on the Peekaboo Pockets and adhere them directly onto the Page Protector.
